    It’s time to switch to Newpipe or Invidious, YouTube clients focused on privacy, without adverts and without Google’s clutches.

      Been trying out Invidious lately. Nice stuff if it is not down for a reason or two.

      Oh! Speaking of a devil. It is down right now!

        Yeah, i even made a script just to log into its container (proxmox lxc) and pull the latest image when i see video stop loading.

        It’s almost always google actively changing things, sometimes directly targeting invidious.

        What did also helped was give its container 2 cpu cores rather than just 1. The internally errors and timeouts causes by google changes cause a big strain on it so it often crashed in combination with needing an update (leaving me unable to backup my up to date subscription list)
